Description

fman 0.7.0 removed the horizontal scrollbar (because it thought it could "cleverly resize" columns).

  1. Create a file with a very long name (eg. 200 chars)
  2. Double-click the divider between the Name and the Size column

If fman's window is narrow enough, the Name column is expanded so far that the Size and Modified columns disappear entirely.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in fman with a 200-character filename and a narrow window, then inspect the column-resizing behavior triggered by double-clicking the divider between Name and Size. Done means expanding Name no longer makes Size and Modified disappear entirely.
